Flaxseed
Flax seed is native to the region of the eastern Mediterranean to India and also known as common flax or linseed. Flax is an erect annual plant, it can grow to 1.2 m tall. The leaves are 20–40 mm long and 3 mm broad. Omega-3 fatty acids (OM-3FAs) found in flaxseed, showed statistically significant inhibitory effect under the influence of OM-3FAs detected in all four cell lines, (SKOV-3 [p53 null], TOV-21G [wt p53] and OVCAR-3 [mutant p53]) and one immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cell line (IOSE-29)(35). In hens study, flaxseed mediated reduction in the severity of ovarian cancer, correlated to the reduction in PGE2 in the ovaries of flaxseed-fed hens(36). The Southern Illinois University study also indicated the effective of long term flaxseed enriched diet in decreased ovarian cancer incidence and prostaglandin E₂in hens(37).
